How to Get Rid of the Slough and China

EDS. RECORD UNION: l am aware that the
Chinatown and slough" question is trite
one, but allow me to offer few sugges-
tons concerning them. They are grievous
offenses to all visitors. Maybe" we do not
know how greatly offensive they are to
newcomers. l was yesterday thrown into
company with Philadelphian. who in the
kindest manner remarked that he did not
understand why Sacramento wears her
scabs on her face" The stranger landing
al the depot is first presented with rear
view of Chinatown and a sniff of the
slough, and in heavens name could we
more effectually disgust him? 1t is old talk
| know, and has been said so often that it
has lost its effect, / fear, with our people.
But how long are we to endure the offenses
referred to? Is there no way in this land
where the people rule to prevent few
greedy property holders giving the town a
black eye every hour of the day? / think
there is. | give you my plan for what it
is worth. To buy Chinatown is out of the
question for such prices would be asked
as would prevent the contamination But
a city may broaden any street it chooses.
There is no authority to review such action
Dupont and kearny streets, in San Fran
cisco, were thus widened and converted
from alleys into avenues. Now for my
plan. Let the city declare its intention to
make | street, from Second to Sixth or Sew
enth, an avenue and boulevard extending
the width from the north side of the street
northerly to the alley between II and |.
Let 1t submit the proposition to the people,
and then proceed 10 condemn the property
Its value will then be assessed in Court,
and cannot be made exorbitant. The
property on the south side would thus be-
come SO valuable that Chinese could no
longer afford to occupy it. The widened
street could be cleaned to the waters edge,
and longitudinal park fenced in and
planted to trees and grass. Property on III
street, from Second to Seventh, would then
become so desirable that there would be no
further delay i'll filling the slough The
boulevard or widened street might be de-
clared market street, and public market
be permitted to be erected in its center,
such as was built in the center of State
street, Chicago. The privilege for such
market might go some distance in paying
the cost of improvement. But market or
no market, to widen the street is lawful,
and it gets rid of the butt-end of China
town forever. | do not believe there would
be 800 votes cast in the city against issuing
bonds to pay for the land and work, which
do not place in excess of S75 600. A bet
ter investment, one that will return cent
per cent. TO business and property invest
ment, could not be made, and the bonds,
at our present credit, could be sold at a
good figure and TO bear very low rate of
interest. w. A.

The Excursion.

The Bric-a-Brac excursion last night was
a complete success. Something over 200
persons attended. The steamer Governor
Dana, Captain Foster, left with the party
precisely at P. NJ. and touched the wharf
on return to the city at midnight to a min
ute, keeping the contract of the club with
it guests. The sail was down river to a
point short distance below CORTLAND
where, without landing, the return began.
The First Artillery Band, C. A. Neale,
director, occupied the upper deck, and gave
concert, the programme embracing is choice
selections, and the concert extending over
the entire period of six hours. There was
incidental dance music, and both on the
main deck and in the cabin those who de-
sired INDUCED in dancing. The club served
its guests with light but satisfactory
luncheon from to - o'clock. One of the
most charming features of the excursion
was the cordial sociability manifest; and
another the grouping in various parts OF
the boat for the purpose of chorus singing
OF old-time songs. The expressions of
qualification by the guests of the club were
not only profuse but enthusiastic, and the
club directory was made to feel that the
second excursion, like the first, was sue
cess without flaw.

CHEMICAL EFFECTS OF BATHINe.-By ex-
perimeat on dogs, Z. Quinquad finds that
cold baths increase tenfold the rate of con-
sumption of oxygen, double or treble the
quantity of air passed through the lungs
augment the amount Of carbonic acid ex.
PEELED, and very much increase the respira-
tory conclusions and the production Of
blood-sugar. Hot baths have a like N
fiuence, but in less degree.
